you know you've read it. or someone has emailed it to you already. (it's the number one emailed article in the times today.)
yikes:
Ms. Ku added that she did not think it was a problem that women usually do most of the work raising kids.
"I accept things how they are," she said. "I don't mind the status quo. I don't see why I have to go against it."
does no one know women's history anymore??

it is freaky.
i've been reading some numbers on women and work lately (i sit on the board of an agency in chicago) and those numbers don't reflect what this article says at all.
most women can't afford to stay home and be moms (solely.)
so what's this article missing?
(oh, and i checked out your blog and you're on the roll! i like it.)
Okay, I went to a good college, graduated, worked for almost a decade, and then switched to freelance work and stay-at-home momism. But good heavens! It certainly wasn't my intent when I was in college—that's just the way life turned out. I had intended to work and maybe have my husband stay home with the kid; but then my work lent itself to freelancing, and my husband's salary went up, and here we are. The idea of deciding at age 19 that you're going to jettison your career sooner rather than later? Yeah, you think these young women will remember to keep quiet about that when they're at job interviews?
well, it's clear to me that the times has the story wrong. they don't jibe with the labor stats out there.
what woman out there can afford to not work?
